adds awkward bad character designer drives few good hit holes maybe middle shots side stance
I think a few of the holes you hit good shots and you find yourself on side slopes, but maybe that's what the designer had in mind. On 9 and 10, you can hit good drives down the middle and have an awkward stance in the fairway; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It adds character to the hole, for sure.
courses good great last phil playing scoring solid stays tournament weather week
With the conditions, all the courses are there to make some birdies. I think the scoring is going to be good this week if the weather stays like this. Sixty-two is a great start, but it's not like the tournament is over. I have to keep playing solid golf. Hopefully, I can do what Phil did last year.
donald finish golf good great knew luke nice played shot
I knew if I just played Luke Donald golf, it'd be good enough. It's nice to finish with a great shot like that.
good hole kept telling
I kept patient, kept telling myself you need one good hole to get it started. Obviously, that was the ninth.
apart couple easy good hope missing short six start stick
I made six pretty easy birdies in the pro-am so I had to stick in there after the start and hope there were some more birdies around the corner. Apart from missing a couple of short putts, it was a pretty good round.
close definitely felt game good judgment nicely played quite shot week yesterday
I definitely feel better about my game having shot 66 yesterday than if I shot 75 or 76. I felt like I played quite nicely during the whole week. It was very close to very good golf. That's why I like to play the week before a major, just to get judgment on how I'm playing.
apart couple good missing short
Apart from missing a couple of short putts it was a pretty good round.
colder hands hard
It got considerably colder and it was just hard to keep your hands warm, hard to keep your rhythm.
helps knowing played
Knowing I have played well here before helps a lot.
boring call compliment golf greens
We call him 'plod'. It's fairways and greens with Luke, he kind of plods his way around the golf course. He's a very boring player, which is a compliment in golf.
glad
We were steady, nothing too great. But I was glad to come out with a win.
games learn similar
We have very similar games and I can learn a lot from Bernhard.
lose tournament win
I don't think you win or lose this tournament off the tee. I mean, it's all around the greens.
ability carry definitely desire determination eight focus obviously seems tiger
He's definitely on the right track. It seems like Tiger got his focus and determination back this year. Obviously he has another eight to go and he'll have to play great. But never say never with Tiger. I think he has the desire as well as the ability to carry him through.
